What are the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of emergency medicine and orthopaedic physicians regarding the use of peripheral nerve blocks?
There is a need for increased training in peripheral nerve blocks for emergency and orthopaedic physicians to address underutilization and knowledge gaps.
Training gaps may limit nerve block use in emergencies; leaves open impact of targeted education on practice.
This study indicates peripheral nerve blocks are likely underutilised due to lack of training. There was a positive attitude towards peripheral nerve blocks but gaps on knowledge and practice.
